God planned the birth of Jesus for a long time before it happened – and that included sending an angel to Mary 9 months before Jesus was born, to tell her that she had been chosen to be the mother of the Saviour of the World.
She was confused and a little scared, as we might expect - but still agreed to do as God wanted. She wasn’t anyone special, rich or famous, just an ordinary girl like us. She didn’t have special religious training – but she was willing to do God’s will.
Are we just as willing as Mary to be part of God’s plan to put everything right in the world?
